HL-5040 series
A
hl1250
16 pages per minute, PCL 5e and PCL 6, 8 MB (136 MB max.), one
tray for 250 sheets (max A4/Legal, a second tray can be added),
parallel, USB 2.0.<p>
Highest resolution with "pxlmono" (PCL 6) seems to be 1200x1200
dpi, but complicated graphics (especially with bitmaps) is very
slow, full-page bitmaps in 1200 dpi can even make the printer
hang, usual documents (as e-mail from Mozilla) come out
quickly.<p>
"hl1250", the PCL-5e driver prints up to 1200x600 dpi. Much faster
on bitmap graphics. In general, very fast with all
documents.<p>
Brother provides a <a
href="http://solutions.brother.com/linux/">driver</a>,
too, but binary-only and only for LPD/LPRng. According to the
printout quality it is based on the "ljet4" Ghostscript
driver. "pxlmono", "gimp-print" (600 dpi), and "hpijs-pcl5e" (600 dpi)
give a better grayscale quality and all special features of the
printer are accessible by PJL commands.<p>
There is no manual in the box, you find it as PDF file on the CD
with the Windows/Mac drivers.<p><p>
